Publication of information is not.

Work is money. Money is work.

Copying is no work. Copying is free.

Production of unpublished information is work.

The transformation of unpublished work into published work is where the money is.

Publication is contingent on the exchange of money from the public to the artist, with art from the artist to the public.

Art for money, money for art.
